Given the current global outbreak of the novel Coronavirus and its potential to cause significant disruption to health services in Nigeria as well as impact negatively on the economy, Pres. Buhari has established a Presidential Task Force for the Control of the COVID-19 disease.
This action is in preparation for the unlikely but probable major outbreak of the disease in the country which will require a multi-sectoral inter-governmental approach as advised by the World Health Org. @WHO similar to that adopted for the HIV epidemic in the last 2 decades.

a. Mr. Boss Mustapha (SGF) – Chair
b. Dr. Sani Aliyu – National Coordinator

e. Hon. Minister of Aviation
f. Hon. Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Services
